Bubble night time problems

This is a continuation of the previous bubble shrinking subject.

This pic should be better:

Our bubble did a trick like that at night (in fact it looked just marginally better than that one with the skeleton showing in only one spot). It had been through a lot getting to our tank so I expected some problems, but it'd only do that at night which was weird. Turns out that at night when it tried to extend its feeder tentacles, the flow was too much for it. Adjusted the flow a litle and moved the coral and now it is fine.

The first time I saw it, I immediately killed the flow, and squirted cyclopeeze at it in hopes of getting it to eat (I only get to see the tank every other weekend at best due to this funny thing called college and work that people keep telling me about and I wanted to make sure it was in good health before I left again).

Good luck.

Looks normal to me. Mine tend to do that at night from time to time. As long as it opens next day.

I'm concerned that there maybe too much flow. But its hard to find a spot in the tank where it won't get blown on. I thought at night I would at least see sweepers come from it to feed. I notice during the day when it is inflated that the bubbles don't get pushed around that bad. I'm hoping its just still going through the aclimation process. Its been almost 2 wks.

both mine do that at night then open up the next day as soon as the lights turn on.

Looks ok to me. Mine does the same exact thing.

sometimes he has sweepers at night, other nights none.
